And a Merry Christmas to you and umm the kitten whose name i have forgotten doh. Don't know if you can get Voltarol over there for your back, but its good stuff. An NHS physio gave me some exercises to do for my back, but you're a youngster so a bit of rest will be fine 😂

[@marjoriewatton8546]

Just rest up Marc with gentle movement to prevent your back stiffening up. Happy Christmas and hope you will be on the mend soon🎄🎄

[@davidmiller-br4bu]

Wishing you and Teddy a great Christmas 🎄…rest your back 😊

[@deborahblair3672]

Actually, your thought process is very logical.

[@jackieduncan4660]

Have a Merry Christmas and Teddy too.🎉

[@ednahawkesworth7551]

Happy Christmas Marc. Please try to rest your back. I realise it’s difficult for you to sit still but for the sake of your back try and rest 🤩🎄

[@carolking6355]

Happy Christmas. Don’t stop making videos. They are great❤❤❤

Marc 🙏 for your physical healing. God bless you. ❤❤😊

Happy New Year to You & Teddy 🎉🎉xm

[@roywills5387]

I love checking in on you Marc, you've taught me a few things and we never know what you're going to do next....except mow, which I love too. You're a real life channel...is that reality TV? I don't watch those..But I love watching you start over maybe I even dream of starting over too. Sciatica responds well to magnesium and mine is triggered by weather, too cold and suprise! this summer was miserable in the heat.

[@flofudge8680]

Merry Christmas!🎉🎄

Interesting video as I did not realise the structure of KZbin management until you explained your view of it... but I do now.

[@paulyoung6165]

[@00528hz]

When my back was bad I bought a back brace from physio. I had to wear it to bed as turning over in my bed was awful.It stopped me making wrong turn.That was 30yrs ago.I took up yoga and touch wood never had a problem.

[@gwynethgrove772]

Merry Christmas Mark, it’s been a pleasure joining you on your journey. I’ve lived in France and it really is a funny old place with some funny people but a great lifestyle can be achieved … back ache is nasty but is part of being such an active chap …. Rest up for a couple of days. Enjoy the break and best wishes for 2025.

[@TheAngela2468]

Merry Christmas to you Mark🎉🎉😊😊😊

[@WeAreAllData65]

Marc, sending yourself and Teddy very best wishes for Xmas time and wishing you prosperity in the coming years. Re: back ache - I find a hot water bottle, placed in the curve of one's back (when seated) really helps relieve post-activity aches and pains. Hope this helps..

[@terry9108]

Have a great Christmas day, I hope the New Year is better for us all.

[@frenchfarmhouserenovation71]

Merry Christmas Marc. Thanks for sharing I get where your coming from with Yt 😊

[@Linda-p3d1g]

It's me again. Have a lovely Christmas Day and give your back a rest. There are some back exercises online which worked for me last year - you do them on your bed! Who knows what will happen in 2025, as long as you keep on smiling, everything will be alright. x

[@janet3528]

Happy Christmas Mark,try and keep your back warm ,with good old fashioned hot water bottle 🤭🎄👋

[@pointdujour2703]

Happy Christmas Marc - hope you have a good day and your back feels better.

[@carolking6355]

I get frustrated. You don’t have a ;thank you button’ I tried before but no luck. You are the joy of my life and need to contribute . I’m old but not stupid where are people contributing ?

[@Mizzy5]

Press the more button. It’s there

[@elaineayres1989]

Happy Christmas Marc. 🎄🎁 I’m still working my way through your videos (up to 12 months ago now) and catching up. Cheating again because it’s Boxing Day here in Australia and I wanted to send a message in real time. I hope you get some time with others in your village, as I’m not up to date yet, I don’t know how things are going with the neighbours. Sorry about your back , been there and it can drive you mental. Why do I watch ? That’s a good question I ask myself from time to time. I think for me too it’s social which I don’t understand, as I don’t live alone. Maybe it’s the voyeur in me 😂. I only “discovered “ KZbin around 2 years ago. I don’t watch tv but am addicted now to my iPad.. I find comments from your other subscribers interesting and often educational. Anyway, I’m rambling on . Once again, I wish you the very best for the holidays and for 2025. Elaine (Aussie granny)❤

[@christinaplaisted9563]

Wishing yih very Happy and pain free Christmas , may try and rest for a bit ❤❤🖤🐈‍⬛🎄

[@Yvonneb_]

That's sciatica Marc I have it every year once a year since I had my twin boys 28 years ago. It's nasty, Sometimes a hot pack sometimes a cold pack works, as well as painkillers obviously, sadly though I can only take 1 painkiller at night because I'm weak and they knock me out. Hope it eases soon for you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Teddy xx ❤❤

[@RueRiposte]

Merry Christmas!!! 🎄 I have similar back issues. Seems to happen when I put on my socks 😮. I understand the social aspect (of social media 😏) and that's why I am here... because I work from home... and home is an acreage... and I need to hear other human voices during the day... But... I also think one needs to divorce oneself a bit from the mechanics of KZbin. Ultimately it is an impersonal tool, and there is no point in getting irritated with a hammer.

[@londonarchitecture]

Merry Christmas Marc! 🎄☃❄

[@caroltaylor-hinds6050]

Merry Christmas. Hope you have a wonderful day Marc.🎉🎄👋

[@philalston356]

Hi Marc, you were saying the pond seems to migrating towards the stream. Maybe you could encourage that and if you're lucky the stream will wash out the pond and do the work for you. Keep up TGW. Philip

Have a great Christmas 🎊

[@juliawigger9796]

Merry Christmas. Take care with that back. ❤❤

[@jackiestewart5062]

An interesting one today, so now I know, you know, I am old, female and live on the Gold Coast, that made me laugh… You should also know I do watch all your videos, right from the channel beginning, always interested in your chats, and laugh at some of your antics..

[@donnaschmink1801]

Merry Christmas!

[@CynthiaEvans-i2f]

Feel better Marc, and have a great New Year.

[@carolking6355]

I’m sad and horrified there are nasty comments. If you close down could we be pen friends or don’t they do that any more ? It’s hard to believe there are such nasty people out there. It’s scary. Love you Marc ❤

[@jeanrichardson2044]

When I first started watching Utube a friend told me " don't feed the trolls" she said that people who are nasty want validation for their comments, and the best thing to do was to ignore them. Marc normally deletes them and moves on, but it does get a bit wearing.

[@SuperBotanica]

Merry Christmas and Peace for our world for everybody. Marc, I completely agree with you that the subscriber/follower system is outdated and addictive for creators. Having to define yourself through such a system is pretty wrong. It's not Teddy the cat's fault that you sometimes have fewer views. It's the time, the inconsistency, the short-term shift in people's interests. I'm happy about every glance at your cat. There are channels where a man only has to show himself with his upper body bare and the numbers go up. Young women jump into a stream in bikinis or show plenty of cleavage. Simple tricks for the eye. But I also have followers - chickens, cats, rabbits and more. That's real

[@Sarah_C68]

Merry Xmassssss to you and Teddy

[@cheryljacques5558]

Wishing you the very best Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🙂🎄🎉🍾

[@isabellevince5174]

Happy Christmas Mark! Rest up. Hot water bottle on back. Exercises online for sciatica (some work well!!) DMSO for the pain. Hope you feel better soon.

[@DanMcgready]

Hi Marc,Merry Christmas and God Bless.You have done a fab job on your reservr.Having a kitten is hard work but good for the soul.I think you have things just about right.Your back old son seems to be a worn disc,I am not surprised all that hard graft with your strimmer.I myself have taken to using a walk behind strimmer.But you are a much younger man and fit as anything.Take it easy for a while and take care,Bye for now .Dan

[@michelehopwood9765]

Merry Xmas Marc 🎄 and hope your new year is a healthy one 🎉

[@I2383R]

Merry Christmas marc 🎄🍻

[@carolking6355]

I understand. I watch on my iPad because I can’t sleep. You are my top favourite. It’s like having a chat with a friend. I keep looking . Where is the thankyou button?

[@dianesmith5254]

Seems like you have a trapped nerve ( sciatica), 25 years ago I gained that,through motherhood.Over years and perseverance it seems to have passed. I must admit during the time of having it, I've been quite active, ie, mechanics, renovation and gardening. Happy Christmas to you and Teddy have a lovely day together😊

[@shelleyknight8896]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Think I've burnt my Turkey Mark, I have a few hours left to cook but there's a minor smell of burning coming from my oven! Ummmm :)

[@GoingSolo-sfs]

Sounds delightful 🤣🤣

[@pamkullman8839]

Hope your back feels better. You will have to fight Teddy for the hot water bottle!

[@florences3963]

Sounds like sciatica you have comes in spasms and very painful sometimes travels down spine across pelvis then to legs. Look up the exercise recommended to do for sciatica and you will need to take strong painkillers. I wish you a peaceful and restful Christmas Marc please keep vlogging. You are on my tablet, TV not good as you cannot hit a thumbs up or comment.

[@jeanrichardson2044]

I think you have done a greater area, you don't usually do where the fence was. Perhap you need to cover a smaller area at a time, Marc. And you know Marc, weeds wait for you. If you dont get them today, they will still be there tomorrow.😊😊

[@DarkHorseDaze]

What colour underwear am I wearing?👙...If any! 🫣 Lol 🤣

[@GoingSolo-sfs]

[@christinaplaisted9563]

Not sure why it said yin ,lol well I injoy watching your videos, never knew you had information about me 😊 so do you know I'm useless with all this , my son told me I am computer elitarat ,not even sure I've spelt that properly never mind , one of the reasons I can't by you a coffee oh and you probably worked out the black heart is for gorgeous teddy ❤❤🖤
